Why does mail merge change the numbers in excel
I have simple numbers in my excel document that mail merge draws from,
numbers like .76 when I mail merge them into msword the come out as ..759999999999999997 or .76000000000000000001 or stuff like that, I don't have any idea what is happening to the numbers. I have tried all sorts of different formating. |
